Department store Galeries Lafayette briefly opened its three stores in the capital on Saturday to show "its will to resist in the face of terror", but later closed them, saying it was difficult to provide a good service for customers.

Smaller businesses have also continued to operate.
Mihaela Iordache, who manages the 10 Belles coffee shop, just around the corner from the attacks in the 11th arrondissement, said she planned to donate all of Sunday's profit to the Red Cross for the work it does with immigrants.
She said Saturday was very quiet, but people "went crazy" at home and had come out on Sunday. "They're queuing out on to the street from the cafe", she told the BBC.
Tourism warningTourism warning
Tourism, which makes up about 7% of France's GDP, is expected to suffer following the attacks.
The Paris tourist office said the number of hotel stays fell 3.3% in the first three months of this year following attacks in January, when Islamist gunmen targeted the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a Jewish supermarket and a policewoman on patrol.
As trading on the stock market got under way on Monday, shares in French hotel group Accor fell 6.9%, while the country's main airline group Air France KLM dropped 4.4% and Eurotunnel fell 4.5% in Paris.
"Companies have to continue to do business, but for some period of time they'll give employees a lot of leeway about travelling to Europe and Paris in particular," said Kevin Mitchell, who runs US advocacy group the Business Travel Coalition.

Despite initial appearances, some have warned that both tourist and business visits to Paris will inevitably suffer in the aftermath of the attacks. Smaller businesses have also continued to operate.

Tourist visits to Paris had already been affected by three days of attacks in early January, when Islamist gunmen murdered 18 people after attacking satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a Jewish supermarket and a policewoman on patrol. She said Saturday was very quiet, but people "went crazy" at home and had come out on Sunday. "They're queuing out on to the street from the cafe," she told the BBC.
The Paris tourist office said the number of hotel stays had fallen 3.3% in the first three months of the year as a result. Prof Tilman Black, director of the Berlin-based International Security and Development Centre, said following previous terror attacks, businesses and markets returned to normal fairly quickly, but the exception was the 9/11 attacks in the US.
"The response of the American government was quite comprehensive, which led to the tightening of security regulations which affected trade. It also meant an increase in government spending. The war in Afghanistan was very expensive," Prof Black said.
